Nine Patch finish

I finished the binding on my nine patch quilt last night. It's made from repro nine patches swapped between friends last year. I used a snuggly flannelette backing, and big stitch quilting with perle in the plain blocks to mirror the nine patch.

I was short on backing so used some leftover blocks to make up the shortfall. I think it's a nice feature.

I was trying to be artistic this morning by taking a photo in the frost.

I wasn't planning on going to the Sydney craft show this year, it's a busy time at home and work. But when I read that there was a red and white quilt display (100+) there was no question, my mind was made up. So I will be there on the Thursday, probably looking a combination of worn out and excited........I think my red and white hexie bag will need to come along!

About Me

I have been consumed by patchwork since I started my first quilt in 1994. I love hand piecing, hand quilting and stitcheries. When I'm not sewing,I'm enjoying my family - one lovely husband, three wonderful boys, and a sweet little dog. I am a fair weather gardener,and a constant renovator, but it usually all comes back to the stitching in the end!
